Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the chicken
- Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side for thighs, 4 to 6 minutes per side for breasts. Transfer to a plate and refrigerate the chicken to cool slightly. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces.
While the chicken is cooling, prepare the remaining ingredients.
2
Prep the remaining ingredients
- Peel and finely chop enough onion to measure ½ cup [1 cup].
- Coarsely chop the almonds.
- Trim the root end from the romaine heart; separate the leaves.
- Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit, scoop out the flesh, and cut the flesh into ¼-inch-thick slices.

Assemble the chicken salad
In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, onion, almonds, and green goddess dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
